HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Overheating
If the temperature gauge pointer is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.
2.  If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood. If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine
and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the temperature gauge needle comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, or no
coolant is in the tank, check that the radiator is cool. Cover the reserve tank cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap. Add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufciently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. If the temperature gauge pointer has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down, contact a dealer for repairs.
MAX
Reserve tankMIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge pointer at the H mark may damage the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of the following operations:
•  Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for
two seconds, or
•  Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require
signicantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
*if equipped
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle. Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the
best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable
way to tow your vehicle.
For CVT models: If you cannot shift the transmission or turn on the engine, your vehicle must be transported with the front wheels off the ground. Make sure the parking brake
is released. If you cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must be transported by at bed equipment.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight. Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes at while driving, grasp the steering wheel rmly, and brake gradually to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the at tire with the compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a rm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Open the trunk oor lid.
2. Take the tool case out of the trunk. Take the jack
and wheel nut wrench out of the tool case.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, then remove the spacer cone. Remove the spare tire.
4. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up) under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be replaced.
5. If necessary, put the at tip of the jack handle bar into the edge of the wheel cover. Carefully
pry the edge and remove the cover.
6. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the wheel nut wrench.

The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
WARNING
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely: •  Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
•  Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight
(“load”) or t the jacking point.
•  Do not use while the engine is running.
•  Use only where the ground is rm and level.
•  Use only at the jacking points.
•  Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
•  Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and properly inated.
Inflation Guidelines
•  Properly inated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specications (see page 147) for the specied pressure.
•  Underinated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•  Overinated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
•  Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•  Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the specied pressure is reached, and then calibrate the system
(see page 118). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm 2
) higher than checked when cold.
•  At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi (10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm 2
) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inate the tires, check for the following: •  Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side or
tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.
•  Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•  Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear indicator mark
Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and loading information.
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specications match those of the original wheels. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire ination and maintenance
.

Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of tires recommended in the Owner’s Manual.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some
states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions components are
working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The malfunction
indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks ve times, the readiness codes are not set. If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When trafc allows,
drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of
trafc conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban trafc for at least 10 minutes. When trafc conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.SPECIFICATIONS 1.5-L engine models
